Summary/Abstract: The article presents the peculiarities of the aesthetic worldview understood through the Nietzschean opposition between Apollo and Dionysus. Dionysian art is seen in its relationship with the idea of eternal return. The Dyonisian is therefore understood in relation to the concept of matter and the Apollonian in relation to the concept of form. Dionysian art expresses the eternal return and is therefore a fundamental metaphysical principle that drives the world into motion. Through the description of the character of Dionysus we also examine Nietzsche’s aesthetical perspectivism in its attitude and relationship with philosophizing and philosophical truth.
